Sweet Irish Soda Bread with Cherries

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into mixing bowl, stir to combine. Using your fingers, break the chilled butter cubes into small pieces into the flour mixture until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
Stir in dried cherries, chocolate chips, and almonds.
In a small bowl, whisk egg until frothy. Add yogurt and milk to the egg, then whisk to combine.
Add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture, then stir to combine.
Remove the dough from the bowl and add it to a well-floured surface. Knead by hand for about 3 minutes, adding more flour as needed, until thoroughly combined, is no longer sticky, and forms a ball.
Form the dough into a ball and cut it into two even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Cut a shallow "X" into the surface of the dough ball.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the two dough rounds on the tray at least 3 inches apart.
Bake for 23 to 25 minutes, until the surface is a light golden-brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the dough comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack.
Make the sugar glaze by combing 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl, microwave the mixture for 20 seconds.
Brush the tops of the bread while still warm.
